Thomas I was just thinking yesterday that I haven`t seen any videos from you and was I getting notified or not , Glad to see your making them season is getting close . Enjoyed it
Cool video Thomas ! Did a bunch of Texas coastal duck hunts when I lived in Austin. There was great public hunts on Matagorda Island. Had a Texas Parks ferry for 10 bucks from Port O'CONNOR for the weekend (Friday am. to Sunday afternoon) Had nice barracks with full kitchens etc etc.or you could camp. You drew for blinds on Saturday and Sunday mornings and were dropped off by TP Rangers to hunt on freshwater ponds along the spine of the Island. Some of the best public duck hunting I had done till I got all my leases 30 minutes from my home.
Thanks Sly! I wish I had more time to explore the public options when I was down there because that sounds like a whole adventure in itself if the ferry is still going on. We were hunting and fishing just south of there this day
Yeah Thomas Matgorda Island was a real treasure. Unfortunately the ferry and public hunting run by the rangers has been discontinued years ago. The middle and lower Texas coast and inland bays are the wintering ground of the largest population of Redheads in North America. Back in the 70s that area also had the largest population of wintering Pintail. The sandy
I appreciate all the information! I knew the it wintered upwards of 80% of the continent’s redheads but not that it used to hold so many pintails. That’s a sad deal about the ferry but I’m glad to have at least learned a bit about it
Thanks! It’s been an absolute blessing to get to explore some different parts of the country the last couple years. The northland has been a blast so far as well
More cast and blasts! Those reds and sheepsheads look like a blast to catch. Good vid Thomas!
Thanks Matt! They both fight pretty hard for their size
I love catching the bull reds. So much fun. Them bull reds are a lot of fun.
They are a blast!
Another brilliant video thomas, love the variety looked a fantastic day again all the best from England
Thanks Michael!
Been going to Port O’ Conner my whole life, awesome place! Cool to see you take a trip down there.
It was an awesome place to get to spend a couple days at! I’m looking forward to heading back down there sometime soon
Cool hunt and fish episode. Keep up the great videos.
Sweet dude. Jealous of this trip. Can’t beat the cast and blast trips.
Thanks buddy! It was a dream come true
Awesome hunt buddy! Fresh oysters in the blind is quite a treat!
Thanks buddy! It was one of the coolest experiences I’ve had while waterfowling
Now that was a GOOD Christmas present for sure!!! Congrats on a COOL trip, and God Bless!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely agreed! It was a great way to celebrate His creation on such a special day. God Bless!
"At the end of the day these are divers" Spoken like a true virginia ducksman
Honestly I was pretty skeptical of it being enough of a hide in late December but sure enough it worked like the locals said it would

Bottom and sarrow grass is what attracts the Redheads and Pintail.

I absolutely love the variety to your videos. Comes with traveling, I guess. Hope the north country has treated you well, too.
